Dating app Lulu has just launched in the UK, allowing its users to give the men they go out with a score out of ten.

The results are posted on the app for the whole community to see, along with hashtag comments such as #DoesntCallTheNextDay, #EpicSmile and #BelievesInLove.

Despite enjoying huge success in the State, the app has been criticised for objectifying men and violating privacy.

Created by Alexandra Chong, who is originally from Canada, the aim behind Lulu was to help women make smarter choices when dating online.

The founder, who dreamt up the idea while studying Law in London, defends her app on the grounds that it makes online dating a safer environment for women.

'Lulu is also about safety. When we date online, we don’t know who we’re meeting, and Lulu means men are held accountable in a way they haven’t been before,' she told the Telegraph.

'[The app] comes from a pure place. We want to keep things healthy and positive.'

While safety for women in the online dating environment appears to be at the centre of the app for its founder, Alexandra Chong, from Canda, others have lambasted Lulu for its seemingly sexist approach

But while safety appears to be at the centre of the app for its founder, others have lambasted Lulu for its seemingly sexist approach.

Likening it to the notoriously shallow game where men rate female passersby out of ten based on their appearance, campaigners are issuing petitions to get the app taken off the Apple store.

One man called Felippo de Almeida Scolari, from Sao Paulo in Brazil, is even trying to sue the company after he earned himself an unflattering review where a user labelled him #CheaperThanBreadAndButter and #ShouldComeWithAWarning.

So how does it work? First up, both men and women have to choose to be featured on the app.

A woman can't rate and review anyone who isn't part of the Lulu community.

Following a date, users are asked multiple choice questions about the men they've been out with, asking them to choose an answer which best describes them.

Questions range from the best to the worst quality of their date, to what the guy's manners were like and how they looked and smelled.

If a user tells Lulu that they 'hooked up' with the man in question, they're even asked questions about his sex moves and post-coital behaviour.

The app then calculates a score out of ten based on the responses.

Lulu also offers direct chat for users to get to know each other before agreeing to a date, along with anonymous forums where topics are extremely diverse.

Members can choose to join the Girls, Guys or mixed forums and post what the app calls a 'Truth Bomb', i.e. absolutely anything.

Topics vary from sexual preferences to relationship woes, offering an open space for all to comment.
